New Beginnings

margielou — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:16:19 +0000

Spring is all about fresh beginnings and new life.
Some friends of ours just started a new beginning with a new little life just two weeks ago.
I had the opportunity to photograph their darling little guy. It was so much fun to see the new parents cuddle their adorable sweetheart.

Ahhh, what a beautiful time of year!

The Fever

One single comment from the weatherman made my week last week, “…looks like the forecast is calling for sun for the rest of the week, and into the weekend.”

And today I still see some beautiful sun!

I had two shoots later in the week, and I couldn’t have asked for prettier days! Spring is just around the corner, and I am soo ready for it! :D

Kevin and I washed and vacuumed our very dirty car and truck, and took a walk in our shorts this weekend. Ahhh, nothing feels as good as those first warm days after months of cold and wet. Almost time to put away the sweaters and jackets and replace them with tank tops and flip flops!

Caught the fever yet? Let me know what you’re doing to ring in the new season.

Cold Feet

Ok, just to be fair, neither of them really got “cold feet,” but they did have cold feet!

Saturday I had the pleasure and opportunity to take Mr. and Mrs. Chris Manke’s Wedding Pictures.

Everything ran so smoothly and I was so busy having fun snapping pictures, I was surprised when it came time to go home. Beautiful weather, beautiful wedding and the reception was amazing! I had to stop myself from dancing along to the Black Eyed Peas with all of the guests!

And what about the happy couple? They were great! They even trudged around in the snow, the bride in her dress and flip flops, the groom in his white suit and shiny shoes, all for the sake of some really breathtaking photos.

I couldn’t have asked for more!

Thank you Renee and Chris for the opportunity to capture your wedding day!

And one more shout out to my wonderful light and all around photographer assistant, Kevin :)

My world would be dark without you.

Now it’s beginning to look like Christmas

margielou — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 22:19:06 +0000

I don’t know about you guys, but the holidays didn’t seem quite like the holidays this year without all the white stuff.
Now it’s coming down in bunches!

I got some really fun geeky photography stuff for Christmas, and I had the wonderful opportunity to break some of it in on Dulce’s Senior Session last week. It was a beautiful but very cold and crispy day for pictures! Dulce was a trooper though in spite of the slippery walkways and goosebumps. Thank you Dulce!

I hope you all had a happy holiday and enjoyed your New Years!

2010 is going to be a great year!

Merry Christmas!

A song was heard at Christmas
To wake the midnight sky:
A saviour’s birth, and peace on earth,
And praise to God on high.
The angels sang at Christmas
With all the hosts above,
And still we sing the newborn King
His glory and his love.

Written by Timothy Dudley-Smith

Merry Christmas!

Dog Tired

It's been awhile since my last post!
I've been having a lot of fun taking some beautiful pictures since the last time I wrote.
I had the opportunity to take portrait pictures for some very beautiful families. You also might notice a few pictures of my most beloved Sasha, our four-legged pride and joy.

Fall is a beautiful season, but winter at this time of year is, well, patchy.
It would be so much better if we had a few layers of pure, white, clean snow to cover everything up. These short cold days are making me sleepy!

The last day of green grass and sunshine Kevin and I loaded up the truck and set up to take our own family Christmas pictures! I was so proud of our little family and pretty impressed with our ten second poses. :)
I might even get Christmas cards out for the very first time! And to think that the 8th of December 2007, Kevin took to his knee and asked me to be a part of this family. I can't believe how much I am blessed with!

I hope all of you are a little more prepared for Christmas than I am! I'm afraid I've hardly begun my shopping!

Happy Holidays!

New Glass, New Camera… :)

October is a month of change, and so many beautiful things are happening. The leaves are turning vibrant shades of red and yellow. The days are getting shorter and the nights are getting longer. The breeze in the air has a bite to it. And it’s my Birthday month. :)

Not only did I get the greatest new camera ever, I even got a super crisp new lens to boot! I know, I’m spoiled. :) These two combined are soon to be a continuance of my arm. (lol) :)

The new Senior pictures I’ve recently posted are proof of the great team the four of us make. Of course I was lucky to get to photograph two very beautiful girls, so all my pictures turned out so great!

Thank you Yesenia and Sara!

Life is so so good :)

Whoa Baby

September 8th was the birthday of baby Titus, and I was there to welcome him in!
I have never witnessed such an event, and it was incredibly emotional as well as miraculous to watch. It was really so amazing to catch a glimpse of the very first breaths of life. It was a challenge to try to capture Mom and Dad’s first moments with their son, and take pictures without crying my head off. :)

What an experience I will never forget!

Life is good

Barry & Courtney’s Wedding

margielou — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 17:13:21 +0000

I did a wedding recently, was it last week? Anyways, it was a blast! It seriously made my week to see a couple so happy and in love in the midst of such a hectic week. They had a very small, but very beautiful ceremony outdoor in the wonderful shade, and I was completely in love with her bouquet. It’s really the most simplest things that make me happy. I posted a couple pictures on here, but probably more on my flickr page. Feel free to check them out! I’m looking forward to doing some family pictures and maternity pictures, as well as newborn pictures of my soon-to-come nephew, Titus. I wish he’d hurry up and get here already, I can’t wait to introduce him to my camera.

Aww, summer, I don’t want you to end.

Life is good
